Any organization, company or
business that purposely exposes humans to farm animals is potentially at risk
for E. coli or other pathogenic contamination.Specifically, this program is targeted at owners and operators of the
following types of events:

üState and County Fairs, where
animals are housed in small and large animal barns, shown or displayed for
fairgoer entertainment.

üExpositions, where small and large
animals are housed on the premise with access by the general public.

üPetting Zoos, which operate
independently or in cooperation with State and County Fairs or Expositions.

Included
Services

üComprehensive Three-Part Analysis
of Fair, Exposition or Petting Zoo ~ Clients will receive a
comprehensive three-part analysis of their operation, including a historical
review of existing programs and premises, an on-site review of operations during
peak season, and a final report with recommendations and photo-documentation of
proposed methods to minimize risk associated with E. coli or other pathogenic
contamination from farm animals.Program
components are explained in detail later in this proposal.

ü“One Stop Shopping”~ Clients will be charged a “one
time” service fee for the three-part program, as described later in this
document.All travel and expenses
associated with the on-site review will be inclusive.

üTravel Logistics ~ The assessment
team will be responsible for coordinating travel logistics during the on-site
review of the facility.The client
shall provide access to facilities and key management personnel during the
on-site review process.

üPeak Season Review ~ Due
to the importance of observing the facility during peak season, when animals and
humans are actively participating in fairs, expositions or planned contact
events, this program requires that participants schedule assessments during
their peak fair season.While it is
clearly understood that this period of time is busy and critical for revenue
development, it is equally important that assessment personnel have the
opportunity to review the facility when it is fully functional and staffed.Assessment personnel will not propose changes to existing facility design
or operations during this initial assessment, unless such corrections will
immediately and easily avert a critical contamination event.Assessment personnel are working to support the participant, and will not
be critical of existing design or procedures, but will instead try to provide
positive and low-cost solutions as part of the follow-up final report.
